Key test or not, Gorilla glass is just like "retina display", it's simply a made up name that's gained public recognition. The Nexus has passed the key test, which doesn't really mean much since most keys are made from metals that don't scratch any sort of glass, fortified or not.

I wouldn't worry about it, if you are worried, then buy a Seidio screen protector, you'll never know it's on their I assure you.

The only thing you should need to worry about is sand or diamonds, which both scratch "Gorilla Glass" just as well.

Why aren't more people liking this post? It clearly meets all the criteria for "like". If you let this kind of humor go by without "liking", the truly funny people will leave this forum in search of better pastures. I for one do not want to see this forum die just because you guys are stingy with the "like" button, on Thanksgiving no less!

Good post. People don't realize that most keys won't scratch glass. They think its all mystical gorilla glass when its really just elementary science. If only more people paid attention in school haha.

Gorilla glass has a high level of scratch resistance, I placed a zippo lighter on my screen and played a game of zippo vs gorilla... gorilla won.

Um.. What? Gorilla Glass is a patented material and trademark from Corning, a significant product from a very old big glass & ceramics company.

I had an OG Droid which supposedly had Gorilla glass, and it had NO problems getting scratched AND cracked during the time I owned.

Lesson learned - any product I get - get a screen protector AND case if I hope to resell it again in perfect condition... even my iPhone 4 got scratched up a little.
